can't hurt if he has a look, if he feels it's useful. there's always the chance of someone noticing something. and maybe he can find a fast scope with a FET probe. like that GHz monster we had at openmoko. with such a device, you rule :)

the 3 dB rise/fall time would be 1/3/analog_bw. so yes, a 100 MHz scope would just do. the next problem is the sample rate. some low-cost brands have really low sample rates. e.g., mine does typically only up to 200 MSa/s. 400 MSa/s if i use only one channel.

well it just says: "However, since reordering improves efficiency and therefore reduces memory controller occupancy, the result is to improve average read latency.". I'm not sure the case is so clear-cut, especially with DDR1
